About Long Sleeve Cycling Jerseys

Long sleeve jerseys are ideal to be worn as part of a layering system, or just worn as an outer layer over a base layer. Manufacturers make a range of different long sleeve jerseys, from lightweight materials for summer use to tops that feature wind stopping fabrics on the chest, or thicker winter fleecy lined tops which can almost be described as jackets which will provide a good level of warmth. We stock long sleeve Jerseys from manufacturers such as Assos, Briko, Campagnolo, dhb, Endura, Gore, Northwave and Pearl Izumi.
There are various thicknesses of jersey available within this category, we list them with three distinct thicknesses, these give an indication of the time of year they are best suited too. Lightweight are ideal for summer evenings to take the chill off, medium thickness jerseys are great for cooler days in the spring and autumn months whilst the thickest jerseys are suitable for spring, autumn or winter months. Long sleeve jerseys also benefit from other features, such as zip lengths for venting and a range of pockets to keep food, spares or even a water proof shell in, most will also feature reflective detailing for safety.

It keeps you warm but the jersey sucks water. Always very vet after a bike ride.

Looks Smart & Great Value
Not bought Northwave before so not sure what to expect. I ordered L & XL as I very rarely go buy fitting guides. Wiggle have excellent after sales so had no issues in having to return one (free of charge). The sizing chart showed I was a Large (39 inch chest and 36 inch waist) but when I tried it on it was a bit too snug around the middle aged spread waistline. The XL is fine although a little bit loose around the chest and very long in the arms but that's not the fault of the garment as I have short arms. I've an awkward body shape and ordinary clothes vert rarely offer me a perfect fit so it's a compromise with cycle clothing. It's got a nice warm feel to it and on a par with an Altura long sleeve jersey I own. I bought the red version and its very striking especially with the white Northwave lettering down each sleeve. Good fit around ther neck when zipped up. I have a large neck and some garments are a bit tight around the neck when zipped all the way up. Not the Northwave, very comfy. Three decent sized rear pockets as the norm for the essentials. A good buy and would look at this brand again as the prices aren't too expensive.
